4x4 conversion

I've got my eye on a 2wd 97 f450 7.3 Diesel 5spd with a nice flatdeck. High mileage but meticulously maintained.

My issue is that with the winters along Lake Huron, I really need 4wd.

Im curious to know what parts would be necessary to convert the F450 to 4x4.


I currently drive an early 91 F350 4x4 351 Automatic.

Can I rob the Front axle, transfer case etc from the F350 for the 4x4 conversion?

What kinds of issues will I have with the gas to diesel and auto to 5 spd?

Any input is appreciated.

its possible but the cost will be higher then finding a 4x4....


throw some weight on that flatdeck and it should go through most anything
